Other Repairs
With our repair experience we are not limited to repairing boats alone.
We have also undertaken fibreglass repairs on GRP campervan panels, truck mudguards, car parts, outboard motor cowls, and motorbike fairings. We can also touch up paint on these repairs using our in-house Valspar tinting system, producing the colour required from our data base of standard colours, as well as automotive colours. We have also undertaken truck deck repairs using the resin-impregnated plywood commonly used on both truck and trailer decks.
We sometimes also carry out repairs to timber items such as tables, chairs and furniture etc. High quality woodworking skills were an important part of traditional boat building, as the hatches, coamings and cabin trunks were all built using long -practised methods of jointing timber together with dovetailed corners, half-lapped joints, splined joints etc.
A sound knowledge of timbers, their various qualities and the correct methods of selecting, cutting and machining from rough sawn to finished product were an important part of traditional boatbuilding.
Our painting has not been only of boats. We have also painted aircraft and truck parts, both metal and composite, as well as machinery parts that are used in our boat repair business such as steel engine frames, mounts couplings etc.
